Resolved Issues

There are no resolved issues for this release.

Known Issues

• vRealize Suite product upgrade request fails in vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

  When upgrading a vRealize Suite product in vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager, the product upgrade request may fail due to vRealize Suite product services not up and running although the product binaries are upgraded.

  Workaround: Perform the following steps:

  1.     Revert to the snapshot that is created prior to the upgrade.
  2.     Perform an inventory sync to update to the correct vRealize Suite product version.
  3.     Perform the upgrade.

  Note: If any vRealize Suite product upgrade request fails in vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager, do not perform an inventory sync or re-import the vRealize product as this may cause inconsistency of information between vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager and the vRealize Suite product.
